Concrete Test Hammer is a Electronics & Instrument Enclosures product. Key specs — Brand: Midwest-g; Origin: China (Mainland).
Product Description
Features
Measurement inherently independent of impact direction, meaning no directional corrections are necessary
High measuring accuracy due to differential optical absolute velocity encoder
Conversion curves for a wide range of compressive concrete strengths, including low fc (<10 N/mm2, 1’450 psi) and high strength concrete (up to 170 N/mm2, 24’650 psi)
Simple operation with "one-button", combined with advanced tilt and twist technology user interface
Language independent graphical menu with symbols
Automatic conversion to the required measurement unit (N/mm2, kg/cm2, psi)
Applications
Suitable for testing a wide variety of concrete, mortar and rock
Ideally suited for on-site testing
Handy for difficult to access or confined test areas (i.e. working overhead)
Especially convenient for testing on tunnel linings as measurements are independent of impact direction
Assessment on young, soft concrete with mushroom plunger (to indicate when to remove forms or for formwork)
